On the card
A figure leans on a hoe and considers seven pentacles growing on a leafy vine.
Upright
- Patience
- Assessment
- Slow growth
The crop is not ready and he is looking at it anyway. Traditionally the pause partway through, where the work is done and the result is not in.
Reversed
- Impatience
- Sunk cost
- Poor return
Reversed, the patience runs out, or the honest question is finally asked about something that has been fed for a long time and returned little.
